Get out of bed and watch a movie. I chose Casablanca.
I chose it because it must be emotional in the middle of the night. Isn't this film regarded as the number one romance film by many people? But after watching it, I think I still expected too much from it. At least not a shocking feeling.
There's a reason it's considered a classic by so many. From a technical point of view, it's almost perfect. Humphrey Bogart's acting is so cool, I'll probably have a period of time parodying his way of talking and doing things, hoping that it will work with Chinese women too, and of course it will fail. Ingrid Bergman is undoubtedly stunningly beautiful, and half of her beauty is due to her acting skills, a quarter is due to the fact that the film is black and white, and knows how to light and move the camera, and the remaining four points One is natural beauty. not understand? Just look at the shot when she asks Sam to play "as time goes by": the soft light comes from her side and behind, the black and white image creates an elegant and gentle silhouette, she's not perfect. On the face, a pair of slightly panning eyes calmly attracts your full attention, and each frame can become a classic photographic work. Perhaps this is the charm of black and white films, light and shadow can release all their splendor when they are pure.
But I always feel that this film is overrated, at least not worthy of the "most classic romance". Although on the surface, it brings together all the elements of a touching love: being at war, being tragic (at least for Rick), love triangle, someone leaving without saying goodbye, impact on personal destiny, giving up because of love... Because of this, he will be worshipped by so many people. From Rick's point of view, let him have a painful encounter, grasp the complex emotions of the fate of his rival, relive his old dreams, and finally watch his lover leave with others at all costs. Wow, what a great love, this is not to cry? And the emotional line between these three people is credible and touching, no wonder there are so many fans.
However, there are two things I can't tolerate: First, the plot is too loose, either he is too idiot or I'm so idiot that I think he's idiot. Since Victor is the leader of the resistance, why not just kill him? What are you threatening. Take a step back, even if there is a reason I can't understand why you can't kill him, then you definitely don't want him to leave Casablanca, so why not just come out with the whole pass and not let people leave at all, or just let the people at the airport Look for Victor's face, and don't let him board the plane. After so many things, the Germans themselves also got a major. With this IQ, it's no wonder that you didn't lose in World War II. Sending a few directors over there will fool you and defeat you.
Second, it's not a pure love movie, or love is just a pretense, but it's actually a main theme... If you want to cry, you always feel that politicians will laugh at you. Do you see the scenes where they covered the Deutsches with Marseillaises with their faces full of integrity, how obvious the spirit of patriotism, the spirit of indomitable struggle? The irony is that they sang a song full of national pride with a trace of hatred for the country's subjugation. It was in a place that they used force to seize before. You said that at this time, the oppressed and colonized people rushed in and sang a national song. Is it cult? Two men who have both love and righteousness, loyalty and love, and finally devoted themselves to the cause of justice, ah, you can imagine how the audience's heart was inflamed by love at that time, how much it was in an instant Hot blooded? I can't wait to go to the front line immediately to harvest love, of course, in fact, at most they can get a certificate of disability.
Of course, it's not that I look down on the main melody, because then there will be problems with thinking. I mean, it would be unwise to hold a movie with such a distinct period character and obvious educational intentions just because it is really beautiful and gorgeous. At least in my opinion the perfect movie is not in this form.
Of course, you just enjoy the perfect black-and-white image, the perfect performance, and the love that really moves people's hearts. If you accidentally shed a few tears and remember this very dramatic love afterwards, that's fine.
